I feel a little decieved ’cus I’ve heard a lot of praise for this series and when I finally read it I was very disappointed. I did not like the artstyle at all and I felt like Nyu was a very strange pick for almost, if not, most of the ongoing fan service.

Nyu is practically mentally disabled, cannot say anything but ”Nyu”, doesn’t understand speech, cannot change her own clothes, and isn’t even potty trained.

Kouta is also such an annoying protagonist to follow. He’s always got some pervy thoughts about all the girls around him (one of them being 12. He’s in University).

I’m not getting into the cousin love… (yikes)

I did, however find the rest of the plot interesting to follow. I’m curious how the story will progress, but I’m apprehensive if I can bear all the shenanigans this series throws at me… (I also liked the short stories at the end. They were a bit odd too but I found them interesting)

I’m going to give this 2 stars?? idk man.
